DE Rashad Cheney commits to UGA for 2019

The Georgia Bulldogs have picked up their third commitment for the 2019 class, this one from strongside defensive end Rashad Cheney.

Cheney (6-4, 256) currently plays for Washington High School in Atlanta, Georgia. He committed to the Bulldogs over offers from LSU, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

“I decided Thursday that I would commit to Georgia,” Cheney told UGASports.com. “At first, my dad and I thought it would be good to wait, but then we decided to go ahead with it. I know Georgia is where I want to go and it feels great.”

Cheney joins four-star offensive lineman Luke Griffin and four-star defensive end Nolan Smith as early commitments for Kirby Smart and UGA for the 2019 class.

“Georgia has great coaches, they are a top school and it has been my dream to do this. It is kind of crazy because I have been dreaming of this time for years.
